Vegan Sour Cream
I don't know about you, but I can't find a store-bought vegan sour cream I like! And, the store-bought versions aren't very healthy either. Instead, make your own vegan sour cream at home with 6 healthy ingredients. Add a little vegan sour cream love to your favorite foods. A dollop will do!
Servings: 20 servings
Calories: 36kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cashews soaked for at least 4 hours if you do not have a high-speed blender
- ¾ cup water
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice or more if needed (taste as you go; I love lemon)
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- ½ teaspoon sea salt add more to taste
- ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
- If possible, soak the raw cashews overnight. This is not necessary, but it makes blending easier if you don't have a quality high-speed blender.
- Rinse the soaked cashews.
- Add all other ingredients to a high speed blender.
- Blend the ingredients until smooth.
- Put in the refrigerator to thicken.
Notes
- Choose silken tofu or white beans for a nut-free option. If using white beans or tofu, however, reduce the water by half.
- Choose unflavored, unsweetened vegan yogurt, and skip the water.
- Using fresh lemon juice is better than bottled.
- For flavored sour cream, add your favorite herb and spice combinations.
- Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
